Schauer Thoughts

Show Notes

Apologies for the late upload! I cannot stress how absolutely devastated I am that I recorded for forty minutes towards the end and only video (not audio) recorded! There will absolutely be a part two to this because I have much more to say and share!

That aside, please enjoy this weeks episode of Schauer Thoughts, we are going on a long journey through the land of light and LEDs so hide your vitamins and slather on the sunscreen because subject-matter will be quite photoDEGRADING. Ayo! Word play *untz untz*

I will also be discussing my research on the *historically* shared diagnosis of autism, schizophrenia, and epilepsy and *part of* my theory for why that was. Again, I must apologize because the part that tied them all together was included in the portion that did not have audio.

What I am NOT saying here:

Artificial lighting is universally bad.

Artificial lighting is the sole cause of any chronic/ immune/ psychological disease, disorder, or diagnosis.

There is nothing to be done to protect yourself, your vitamins, your health from light pollution.

Vitamins and turning off your lights are the cure for everything!

Remember folks, nuance! And yes, absolutely feel free to run this by your dietician, PCP, therapist, etc. Please enjoy and know that more resources are coming.

Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we’re covering vast expanses of the topical board, and yes, I checked my medication and realized I did not take my Vyvanse. Thanks to that ADHD misstep we will be going over: a *potential* case of securities fraud, the ins and outs of heart failure, erectile tissue in the nose, what’s happening with Russia and what it means for American elections, as well as a new documentary coming out on *slams head against wall* Elon Musk.

Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we’re covering my 32nd birthday, what Donald Trump said about Los Angeles and San Diego, as well as going over some climate-related menstrual nuance. Is that a wide range of discussion points? Yes, but that is the essence of Schauer Thoughts, so get ready to go on a topical saga! Thank you all for accepting that I am a human being on SSRIs in a heat wave so tears (light Schauers) are normal. I appreciate you all and can’t wait for you to listen to this week’s episode.

Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we will be discussing the “Cornell 7” and the horrific gang rape of Jane Doe. I am so mad and you should be too, rape is a systemic issue and we all need to stand up and demand answers, demand accountability, and demand a world where justice can swiftly and with the full force of the law be served.

Hello guys! This episode of Schauer Thoughts truly is just a mental free for all, we will be discussing predominantly ME/CFS and registering to vote for the Midterm elections though. I do apologize for not getting to Boomers committing mass tax fraud and identity theft - that will be covered in a later episode. Hopefully there was some semblance of coherence here and I would like everyone to know with chronic conditions and chronic pain conditions that I will continue to raise awareness and just care in general because it is unacceptable that you all have been forced to go this alone. We all can do better.

Gather round, Schauer crew, this week on the podcast we’re discussing a potentially beneficial legal flub from the Trump Administration and what it could mean for major polluters and your community.
